    Wale Says Album Is 100% Emotion…….

    C’mon Son….GetTheFuckOuttaHereWithThatBullshit!!

    Wow. Haters run rampant. The album was emotional. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

    Shades – Song about being dark-skinned and self-hating
    90210 – song about girls that go to hollywood and get caught up in addictions, eating disorders
    Center of attention – song about the problems of being famous
    Diary – song about black women self-hating and not allowing themselves to be loved

    One of the best debut albums I’ve heard in awhile. Real thoughtful, well written songs, and tight production.

    Shades – Song about being dark-skinned and self-hating

    and

    Diary – song about black women self-hating and not allowing themselves to be loved

    Are 2 of the only songs on th albums that spoke to me (per say) with that emotion. Being a dark skin brother myself those songs resonated with me the most.

    However Chillin……not so much. Its a good album, but on the whole a dissapointing one. Its no ‘Food & Liquor” I know but I was expecting to be much doper than it was. Some of the tracks he (or should I say jimmy iovine) left of were better than some of those left on the final LP.

NOBODY ON THIS POST KNOW THAT NIGGA TO HATE THAT NIGGA!!! YA ASS NEEDS TO DISTINGUISH WUT “HATE” AND “OPINION” MEANS!!!! IF I’M A “HATER” THEN U A FUCKIN’ DICKRIDER!!! THAT NIGGA WALE IS WACK!!!! SUCKA!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

    I don’t want to be called a hater but I’ll take that risk. This guy Wale just talks and talks about his album is this and it’s that. At the end of the day it’s average at best. He’s not nearly as lyrical as he thinks he is. He’s tried to be Wayne, Lupe, and Jay-Z in a span of 2 years. Now he wants to be Nas I guess.

  8. Nathaniel says:

    ahaha mac DIESEL goes IN once again.

    co-sign though, i agree.

    it ain’t hatin…the nigga’s album ain’t emotional….especially not in the context he was puttin it. his album is REALLY based on piss poor writing, commercialism and conformity. and that translates into a dull, uninspired(void of emotion) record. AND…nigga you know you had those women on your album as an attempt to expand ya lil fan base and draw more people. the quality is seriously lacking with Attention Deficit….i guess thats what the album title means. J.Cole won’t suffer the same fate as this nigga. bet that. chea

    A Mixtape About Nothing was much better.

  9. Nathaniel says:

    lmao, and niggas kill me tryna make something that isn’t really deep and intricate SOUND that way. co-sign Black London too.

  10. mac DIESEL says:

    This whole thread is filled with emotion

    @mac diesel

    Not dickriding. Truth be told his mixtape was tighter than the album. And wale’s not nicer than lupe, ye, j. cole, or even drake on the mic. But he did try something different with his songwriting, sometimes-awkward flow, and production (go-go influence).
    I like it. you don’t have to, but it a’int trash. Not hating on nobody’s opinion, but it’s one thing to say “he raps awkward. his production is wack and his lyrics suck” and it’s another thing to say “U suck at hip-hop”
    I call it “hate” when you don’t make a point but when you just say it’s wack. Even if we’re talking about Soulja Boy (an easy target) you gotta at least be able to articulate WHY the nigga’s wack. That’s my point.

  14. mac DIESEL says:

    @ Dashing

    IT AIN’T TRASH TO U BUT IT IS TO ME!!! IT’S AN OPINION NOT A FACT!!!! IF U READ MY POSTS I DO SAY I GIVE EVERY ARTIST A CHANCE!!! I DON’T POP SHIT FOR THE SAKE OF IT!!!

  15. Nas says:

    yo dude why do u have to capitalize all of ur words. you trying so hard to hate. Gimme one the dudes u thing are good. And I bet you I’d say its trash. That’s what I hate about rap fans. If they don’t like song they automatically say the artist is trash. It’s just not your type of music.

  16. mac DIESEL says:

    @ Nas

    CHECK ME OUT, I CAN TYPE IN ALL CAPS TOO TO TRY TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IM SOME KIND OF KNOWLEDGEABLE SOURCE ON ALL THINGS HIP-HOP. I CAN ALSO TYPE NIGGA AND FAGGOT ALOT TO TRY TO BE A BLOG TOUGH GUY LIKE YOU.

    Hip-Hop aint watered down. Your tastes just arent with the times. Rappers like Wale, Kid Cudi, Charles Hamilton still throw down on the mic. Theres not gonna be another Illmatic, deal with it.

  22. ha says:

    some ppl r really sad, u tellin ppl to get a life when u came bak on this post how many times to repeat the same wack shit… lol here’s the diffierence between an honest opinion and hate, honest opinion u actually bak up wut ur sayin like ”dashing” did early on, u jus say ”dis nigga’s wak, fuck dat nigga” bla bla, why u postin on his links then, just do wut i do when i see a rapper i dont give a fuk about, on to the next posts

    anyways all dis to day i thought the album was dope as hell, and even tho it wasnt emotion from begginnin to end (chillin, let it loose) most of it did have emotion, and most importantly it was well put togetha and honest and dope lyrically (not as much as 100 miles and runnin but still lyrical as hell, pay attention) and musically

  23. mac DIESEL says:

  28. LOL says:

    “Simply outta this world by choice..this world is too much for the sober to enjoy…

    I focus on a void and I fill it..” -wale “Prescription”

    If the album was 10 songs it could be deemed classic.
